FBI profiler Maggie O'Dell returns in a sequel that is far from uplifting. The story opens with serial killer Albert Stucky escaping from poorly managed prison guards, leading to an escalation of violence, particularly against women. O'Dell, still haunted by her past encounters with Stucky, is eager to re-engage with the case. However, her new home quickly becomes a scene of horror when a neighbor disappears, leaving behind a gruesome scene, and another is found dead in a Dumpster. As Stucky's threats draw closer, the narrative unfolds with predictable brutality. The supporting characters feel like mere stereotypes, lacking depth, which diminishes the emotional stakes of O'Dell's struggle against Stucky. Her misery is palpable, making it difficult for readers to invest in the outcome of their confrontation. The prose is clichéd, with moments that feel overly dramatic and unoriginal, leading to a sense of fatigue for the audience. While Kava's first book featuring O'Dell received acclaim, this sequel may not attract new readers, despite an extensive promotional campaign aimed at fans.
FBI Special Agent Maggie O'Dell and her partner Tully investigate two cases--the murder of a senator's daughter in Washington, D.C., and a deadly shootout in Massachusetts, both of which are linked to Reverend Joseph Everett, who is dating Maggie's mother.

When Special Agent Maggie O'Dell receives a concerned phone call from Dr Gwen Patterson about a missing patient, she agrees to look into the woman's disappearance. At first she dismisses Gwen's fears, but then a graveyard of bodies is discovered in rusted barrels buried in a rock quarry.
Si stanno verificando assassinii di preti cattolici in tutta l'America, omicidi ritualizzati che parlano di vendetta e di odio. Mentre il delirio di uccisioni continua in modo imperterrito, diventa presto chiaro a Maggie O'Dell, celebre profiler dell'FBI assegnata al caso, che più di una persona ne è responsabile. Indagando a fondo nella faccenda, lei scopre l'esistenza di un inquietante gioco di ruolo in Internet, per giovani che sono stati vittima di autoritarie figure maschili, preti cattolici inclusi. Seguendo il primo vero indizio nelle indagini, Maggie si chiede se questo gruppo abbia spostato le proprie gesta dal cyberspazio alla realtà, dispensando il proprio marchio di vendetta. E mentre gli omicidi rituali sconvolgono il cuore dell'America, la profiler trova un secondo indizio, un indizio che la lascia pietrificata. Negli ultimi quattro anni è stata guidata dalla determinazione di trovare Padre Michael Keller, il mostro i cui atti di brutalità continuano a perseguitarla. Malato e pazzo, il prete pare essere svanito senza lasciare traccia. Ma con un'ironia che solo la vita può permettersi, ora sembra che sia lui a essere diventato un bersaglio. Quando Keller si offre di aiutare Maggie a risolvere i crimini in cambio di protezione, lei non ha altra scelta che stringere un patto con l'inafferrabile assassino di bambini ed entrare in un mondo di crudeltà e male da cui non potrà tornare indenne.

New York Times bestselling author Alex Kava returns with another action-packed thriller featuring special agent Maggie O'Dell, who is on the hunt for a "truck stop" serial killer. Tired travelers and weary truckers have stopped at rest areas on the nation's highways for decades to refuel, grab a bite, and maybe get some shut-eye, but one man's rest stop is another's hunting ground. For decades the defenseless, the weary, and the stranded have disappeared along the highways and byways, vanishing without a trace, but these seemingly unconnected incidents are no coincidence, and a madman stalks the freeways. When FBI special agent Maggie O'Dell and her partner, Tully, discover the remains of a young woman in a highway ditch, the one clue left behind is a map that will send Maggie and Tully on a frantic hunt crisscrossing the country to stop a madman before he kills again. As the body count rises and Maggie races against the clock to unmask the monster who's terrorizing the nation's highways, she turns to a former foe for help since he seems to know just what the killer's next move will be. As she gets closer to finding the killer, it becomes eerily clear that Maggie is the ultimate target.
